Fender color

Post by Ian » Fri Oct 08, 2004 2:54 am

I am re-assembling my 64? CB72 which is currently painted blue. I want to repaint black/silver to match the posters but I read on a website that pre-67 bikes had painted fenders. My fenders and aircleaner covers are painted blue to match the bike. Is this correct or should they be silver like all pictures I have seen of the bike.<br /><br />Also, how can I tell what year my bike really is?

You can check the year of your bike by the frame/engine number. Look here for the codes/years: <br />http://vjmc.org/techtips/carbondating.htm<br /><br />im pretty sure that almost all the bikes had silver fenders. There were some rare chrome fenders.
